Strangely I don't think we actually played any games together, except you guys laughing at us as we played Space Alert. Nonetheless it was great to have you around and to have dinner together at Thaiphoon (loved the spice).

Loved Roll Through the Ages, Steel Driver, and Space Alert and it's time to put them on my must have. Municipium was a enjoyable game though I don't need to own it. Boss Kito was kinda the same deal.

Thanks for the quasi-complements, Steve. I enjoy the show, hope others listen, and have a wonderful wife whose laugh, though you identify it as fake, is music to my ears. Hope you keep listening though I'm sorry you find it lacks depth and is weak at times.

Keep ringing the bell for the Ameritrashers Steve. I enjoyed your platnium pawn awards this year and whole heartedly agree with your pick in Maneuovre, excellent game. You need to check out Monsterpocalypse and although this isn't Doug's type of game, he does seem to appreciate the beauty for those who like it.

This show was the first time I heard someone refer to their game group as "The Eurogame Community" Most Eurogamers on this site have tried to pull off the "We are just gamers" ploy which of course I have seen through all along. The subtle dig at the Ameritrashers was there with the "crazy uncle" comments from your guest. Weak, and totally wrong but the elitism will not die it seems.

Sorry Steve, I had to go back and listen to this. Mark Jackson made both comments about "the Eurogame Community" and the Crazy Uncle Fester. Believe me, Mark is a gamer of all types, he actually held the record for BGG of logging the most unique games, he has all but one figure of Heroscape as he mentioned in the podcast, he loves Duengonquest, Axis and Allies: Battle of the Buldge, and yes, Settlers of Catan, El Grande, and Haba kids games.

I think the crazy uncle comment was probably more about some strange bird Eurogamers out there. Mark's met a ton of people out in the "Eurogame community". Far form being elitist Mark is about the most kind guy you could meet.
